This was a slow grower to me. I liked it; I think I'll keep it with the other dozen Sylvia Thorpe books I've read that I'll keep. I'm having trouble putting my finger on why I didn't give it a better rating, though. It's clean, appropriate for very young readers, and free of supernatural elements. It's not gloomy or oppressive--pretty sunny, actually. Maybe I'll revisit this later.

Romantic Lady Sylvia Thorpe 9780449500576 Books Reviews

I love this novel! Guy Ravenshaw is the quintessential Regency hero older, knowledgeable and adroit, unobtrusively protective, and totally in love with the heroine from the moment he meets her. He reminds me of the best Georgette Heyer heroes. Caroline is a thoroughly satisfactory Regency young heroine, and it's easy to believe that Guy loves her. This early Sylvia Thorpe novel (1960) clearly shows the influence of Heyer, and it's all good!
Sylvia Thorpe wrote this book in 1960. Described on the cover as a Georgian Romance, it appears to be set immediately before the Regency times. The heroine penniless Caroline Cresswell sets out to help her friend, dearest Jenny to elope rather than wed the odious Mr. Ravenshaw. The elopement doesn't go exactly to plan, Jenny and Roland get away but Caroline finds herself in a dangerous predicament that only the odious Mr. Ravenshaw can assist her. The action is set mostly in the country with only a few scenes set in London's high society.
